Career
As a child, Rodriguez performed as one of the young dancers on the Venezuelan children's series El Club de Los Tigritos.

She was also a returned special guest on the Bravo TV series Top Chef. In addition to American television, Rodriguez landed Spanish-language roles and played dual leads as Rosita Amado and Violeta Hurtado in the primetime series Dame Chocolate, which aired on Telemundo.
In 2012, Rodriguez had a substantial role as the love interest of Will Ferrell in the comedy film Casa de Mi Padre, a spoof in the style of the Mexican soap operas of the 1970s. She followed that role with an appearance in the action-thriller film The Last Stand in 2013, playing the villainous FBI Agent Ellen Richards, as well as appearing in the comedy Identity Thief as Marisol. In 2014, Rodriguez lent her voice to Honey Lemon in the Disney animated film Big Hero 6. In February 2017, she appeared as the main female role in the music video for Romeo Santos's song Héroe Favorito. In 2022, she appeared in the recurring role of superhero Sloane Hargreeves in The Umbrella Academy season 3.Tyler, Adrienne (February 1, 2024).
